This is the latest installment in Lorelei James’ Rough Riders series. It is about Gavin Daniels and Rielle Wetzler. Gavin is the child of Charlie and Violet McKay that was given up for adoption. He looked them up earlier in the series and they have been trying to build a relationship ever since. This story is also about Sierra, Gavin’s sixteen year old daughter and Rielle’s daughter, Rory who is twenty four.

Let’s start with Gavin, the most un-McKay man ever. He’s not a rancher, artist, ex-military man or a man whore. For those of you who have read this series, you know what I’m saying. He is very likable and hot in his own way. You feel for him and his quest to get to know his family. You also get to see his dealing with his issue of getting put up for adoption. His relationship with Charlie seems more at peace than his relationship with Violet.

Rielle is a single mother and has her own self made business. She has always had to work hard not only at her business but as a single mother and a child of the town hippies. She was a very young mother at age sixteen, but she kept her baby and has worked her butt off ever since. She stayed in Gavin’s house he bought in Wyoming several years earlier. She also owns land next to Gavin’s she was saving up to build her own place on.

Sierra and Rory are typical only children in that they are selfish and oblivious to anything that doesn’t center on them. That being said, I still liked them both. You get to experience first love with Sierra and a West boy! Sorry I love the Wests! Sierra and Rory both have to deal with some loss of their parents’ attention which is emotional.

I really forced myself to read it because I had no interest in Gavin. It wasn’t personal but I still had McKays I’d heard about to read first in my opinion. I went ahead and read it obviously because Lorelei James is an auto-read for me. Especially this series. I enjoyed this book quite a bit. I also got to learn about the McKay/West feud which was exciting. I highly recommend anybody to read this book. I would have to say you must read the series in order though to totally understand it.

Ian Richards is now going by his father’s last name of Fuentes. He made a deal with his father that I don’t want to tell about, but suffice it to say, it was a doozy. Ian moved in with his father and is helping him run his cartel. Quite a change for a former SEAL. His former teammates are stunned, his mother and stepfather also. No one can believe he’s a traitor, especially not Kira Porter, who shared an encounter with Ian in Hidden Agendas.

Kira Porter is down in Central America to see for herself about Ian. She basically bulldozes and schemes her way into Ian’s life. Never mind that he tries to push her away. Kira is a force to be reckoned with. She’s a double agent kind of girl. She wants Ian and he better be accepting of it.

Kira made me laugh with her antics. Ian made me smile with his alpha tendencies. This pair was made for each other. The suspense of whether Ian is guilty or not is definitely in question, but I’m not telling. You’ll have to read the blazing love story for yourself.

I will wait until after the story synopsis to explain my grade of this book. Danika is a self reliant and independent woman. She just wants a man to be nice to her and not lose her heart to. Oh, and a man to give her an orgasm. Sam is the Bradford male. He’s a paramedic, good looking and a pleaser of the ladies in the bedroom. He overhears Danika and her sisters talking at a bar one night and decides, sight unseen, to be the man to help her, in the orgasm department. No ego here, he’s just that good.

There were some things about this story that I liked quite a bit. I like all the characters, the humor(that made me laugh out loud more than a few times),  and the build up was nice. It just took to long and my interest started to wane. And you need to have sex before being 67% into a book. I just can’t handle that.

I think part of my problem is that I read a novella earlier this year as a free read about his family that I loved. It was kind of a sequel to the series and it was hot. Ms. Nicholas’ stories aren’t bad stories just a little bit too much teasing for me.
